[quote=Anonymous]I think 1st grade is too old to spank. I spank my kids when they are between 2 and 4. (I have three boys who are 3, 6, and 9.) I know it’s not the recommendation but I don’t agree with lots of parenting recommendations and research, honestly. Like the PP who said this is like asking people about seatbelts is actually a great example. My kids use car seats when they are young but by kindergarten, they ride in a booster and 1st grade can ride with nothing. I know the research says to use a booster until 8 but I think that’s ridiculous. But my first point here was that by 1st grade you need different strategies. For my 6 year old, I scold him and give him extra chores. For what it’s worth, I get a lot of compliments on my boys’ manners and behavior from teachers and parents.[/quote]
